Well Proven Chairs are Made from Old Furniture

So much waste goes into making furniture, and designers James Shaw and Marjan van Aubel have found a way to reuse the waste by creating their Well Proven Chairs.

These coral seats are made with residual wood chips, bio-resin and water. Once all ingredients are added together, the mixture expands uncontrollably until it expands to about 600-700% of its original size. In order to create the Well Proven Chairs, the mixture is tailored to have a lower growth capacity, making it denser and stronger so it's suitable for seating. The mixture is then sloshed onto a mould where it has to be continuously pushed back up until to prevent oozing and unevenness until it sets.
